The only published method I have found to change the database case-sensitivity is through OCM. My government customer will never allow the required inbound connection to configure and use OCM. Getting the latest and greatest 11gR2 software also had to come from My Oracle Support (MOS). It was not available on Oracle Technical Network (OTN). Of course, patches of all types require MOS. One almost cannot operate reliably without this connection – yet, it will never exist for many. Damn shame.

There is a bit of confusion down there. What Oracle has removed is the ability to create and store configuration manually in Configuration Support Manager (CSM v2.0 is available now at https://csm.oracle.com/ or from the Configuration Support Manager tab of Metalink )

Thanks God ! You don’t have (for now at least) to have a stored configuration to create a SR even if it could have been useful in the past. However, most of the time Oracle request a RDA when you open a SR and I don’t know what you think but there are 100x of informations useful to detect fraud in them, no ?

Actually Companies like NetApp, EMC or HDS do this for years. I’ve seen once people from NetApp coming to change disks a Monday morning while the storage team wasn’t yet aware they’d lost them. And yes it’s frightening to think that your credit card number is actually probably stored in one of those beast. However, I just lost mine in a bus last Friday so I guess the biggest threat may not be where I think (Couldn’t it simple be me ;) ). Yes : I know I shouldn’t guess ; So I know it’s me !

Don’t get me started about Oracle and product naming though. You might regret it!

It’s like they only know half the alphabet and can’t remember that OCM is also Oracle Certified Master. Then again, maybe being an Oracle Certified Master is really the same as being an Oracle Configuration Manager…hmmm.

Either way, I’d look forward to using OCM for support issues just about as much as I looked forward to taking the OCM practicum way back when. And, similiarly, I suppose that once it is all over, I will possibly appreciate it more than I do right now…maybe.
